 Two Amazing Deals at Booming Roesville
Date: 2012-04-25
2 chances for buyers who have already sold their homes to capitalize on incredible deals, including cash back at closing and reduced prices! Felton, DE- According to sales at Roesville, a 55+ community by J.S. Hovnanian & Sons, the market is rebounding. Selling eight new homes this year alone, Roesville buyers took action, sold their homes and made the conscious move to start saving money and enjoying life. This shift is being seen beyond the Delaware market as buyers are migrating to Roesville from New Jersey, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York and more to take advantage of a significantly lower cost of living.
“I have seen an energy and excitement back in the prospects at Roesville,” notes Tammy Quiroz, Sales Manager at Roesville. “They have a renewed confidence in what they are looking for and where they want to be at this point in their lives. Prospects are listing their homes and moving on to Roesville.” In fact, the last two buyers who used the Builder’s “Gold Key Plan” to sell their homes sold within a week and their new homes are currently under construction.
For those that have sold their home or are ready to make the move, the community has just announced two unprecedented deals on their Quick Move-In Homes. In addition to price reductions on both homes, the builder is offering a $5,000 credit towards closing costs and $5,000 cash back at settlement. “This is real money that buyers don’t need to bring to settlement,” highlights Quiroz. “It makes a huge difference.”
Prospects looking to build their own home will be able choose from 6 green certified innovative designs. Unlike other 55+ communities in the area, Roesville offers wider ranch homes on spacious lots. The larger lots allow for residents to have their own space and privacy without feeling like they are attached to their neighbors, like at many other 55+ communities.
Also unique to Roesville is the emphasis on design for today’s active 55+ buyers. The 2-3 bedroom ranch homes feature Hobby Rooms, Internet Centers, spacious Master Suites, Screened-In Porches, Sunrooms and more. The builder has deliberately planned these homes to offer every amenity and utility buyers are looking for without wasted space. Buyers can chose from available lofts, extensions on the home and other options to personalize their home at great prices.
Keeping costs even lower for new homebuyers, Roesville is now offering free access to the Roesville Club, the temporary lifestyle center. The Club features a card lounge, media lounge, billiards area, fitness center and more. Homeowners have an active social calendar already set up for new homeowners.
Whether you want to build from scratch or take advantage of the two unprecedented deals currently available, Roesville will have the best value in Delaware. Contact Tammy Quiroz at 302-335-5804 and visit www.HOVhomes.com/roesville for prices, photos, floorplans and more.
Builder Takes Goldilocks Approach to Community Amenities
Date: 2012-01-12
J.S. Hovnanian & Sons has built a Roesville Club to grow along with the community. Felton, DE- In the height of the market, builders were creating lavish community centers with costly amenities, but only 20% of homeowners consistently used them while all homeowners carried the costs. J.S. Hovnanian & Sons recognizes today’s homeowners are making more prudent buying decisions. At its Roesville community in Felton, DE, Hovnanian has created an amenity approach that will grow with the community, ensuring there is a central social outlet for homeowners from day one, with no undue financial burden on the homeowner.
Two years ago, the company built the first phase of this expanding club at Roesville, which was named Delaware’s Best Active Adult Community in 2011. The Roesville Club was complete with a media area, card section, fitness room and kitchenette. The homeowners were thrilled to have a space that fit all their needs at their current size, which came at no additional cost to them. They immediately created a weekly activity calendar that included everything from community dinners to yoga classes.
Responding to the growth at Roesville over the past two years, J.S. Hovnanian & Sons just completed a new and bigger temporary Roesville Club, again at no charge to the homeowners. The builder was thrilled to recently grand open the new temporary club which is double the size of its predecessor. Offering similar amenities, this expanded club gives residents more space to continue their numerous social activities and events.
To Mr. & Mrs. Brown, homeowners at Roesville, “The new club is the perfect size for our community. It helped to make our New Years Eve party memorable. We are all looking forward to next year’s party!”
“We are very grateful for our builders concern for the community’s social life and how he went out of his way to build a temporary club with no additional cost passed onto the homeowners until the permanent lodge is to be built,” adds Mr. & Mrs. Kalmus, homeowners at Roesville.
“The greatest reward for our company is seeing our homeowners come together and create a life together. This club is an extension of their homes and therefore it is extremely important to us that they are comfortable and happy in that space,” explains Stephen Hovnanian, principal of J.S. Hovnanian & Sons. Roesville will ultimately include hundreds of homes and a comprehensive Lodge that will host a variety of activities to support the large community.

Date: 2011-05-10
Dover, DE - Roesville by J.S. Hovnanian Sons was named the 55+ Community of the Year, the top honor given at the Home Builders Association of Delaware Regal Awards on May 6th. The Regal Awards distinguish... Dover, DE – Roesville by J.S. Hovnanian Sons was named the "55+ Community of the Year," the top honor given at the Home Builders Association of Delaware’s Regal Awards on May 6th. The Regal Awards distinguish the top builders in Delaware across a variety of categories. Roesville swept the top honors for active adult communities, with its popular Riverdale model being named the “Best 55+ Home” and Tammy Quiroz being chosen as the “Best Sales Manager” for the entire State of Delaware.
The win is an honor but no surprise to Stephen Hovnanian, principal of J.S. Hovnanian & Sons. “Our mission and reputation for over 45 years in New Jersey was providing the best in quality and service to our loyal customers,” says Hovnanian. “We brought that same pursuit of excellence with us here to Delaware and we feel honored to be recognized by our peers.”
Roesville is located in Felton right off of Rt. 1, featuring innovative ranch homes starting from $219,900. The “Best in Show” Riverdale model is one of six models available to purchase in the community ranging from1,300 to 2,200 sft. The community has been known for its distinct floorplans featuring internet centers, hobby rooms and walk up attic storage. Because of J.S. Hovnanian & Sons’ high construction standard for energy efficiency, each home at Roesville is Green Certified and qualifies for a $3,000 rebate at closing through the state’s “Green4Green” program.
Roesville is home to the best quality houses but its residents are what make the community standout among the competition. Last month with the help of Sales Manager of the Year Tammy Quiroz, the residents welcomed over 100 visitors to tour their homes and speak to them directly about how they enjoyed living at Roesville. They shared with visitors how much they loved their low maintenance homes and how they have created a true neighborhood at Roesville, sharing in a variety of activities such as yoga, movie nights and card tournaments. The event resulted in 6 new sales.
All 8 buyers this year have benefited from J.S. Hovnanian & Sons’ exclusive Gold Key Plan™. The Gold Key Plan™ is available to anyone with a home to sell looking to purchase a home at Roesville, and features a free home appraisal plus a free staging consultation and planning session with the company’s top-notch interior decorators for the home they are trying to sell. On average, buyers who use the Gold Key Plan™ to sell their existing homes sell 3 times faster than selling on their own.
George Myers, a resident of Roesville, remembers “When my wife and I first visited Roesville, our home was not on the market. However, after learning about the Gold Key Plan™, we decided to give it a try. Shortly after our visit, we received an appraisal, listed our home for the suggested price and had a contract within a few weeks. Everything worked out well and we are very happy.”

Half of Roesville homeowners use exclusive "Gold Key Plan"
Date: 2010-10-22
Half of the homeowners at Roesville used the Gold Key Plan to help them sell their house quickly and move with no hassle! Buying and selling a home does not need to be complicated – in fact, J.S. Hovnanian & Sons has worked to ensure just that with their innovative Gold Key Plan™.
The Gold Key Plan™ is available to any current seller looking to purchase a J.S. Hovnanian & Sons quality home, and features a free home appraisal, plus a free staging consultation and planning session with the company’s top-notch interior decorators for the home they are trying to sell.
According to George Myers, a resident of Roesville, J.S. Hovnanian & Sons newest active adult community in Felton, DE, “When my wife and I first visited Roesville, our home was not on the market. However, after learning about the Gold Key Plan™, we decided to give it a try. Shortly after our visit, we received an appraisal, listed our home for the suggested price and had a contract within a few weeks. Everything worked out well and we are very happy.”
“The overall focus is to keep things simple and easy for our customers,” explained Stephen Hovnanian, principal of J.S. Hovnanian & Sons. “With both buyers and sellers in mind, we’ve even enhanced our own website to include an interactive section about the Gold Key Plan™ and its many benefits to both buyers and sellers.”
By visiting the website, www.HOVhomes.com/goldkey, customers can easily obtain detailed information on how exactly the Gold Key Plan™ can help sell homes quickly and for more money, how a home appraisal can benefit a seller and how pricing a home correctly can save valuable time and money.
“Most people think it’s better to start high when first listing a home to sell on the market,” explained Hovnanian. “But with this approach, the home usually sits for more than three and a half months. As a result, sellers keep making mortgage payments, and data shows they end up dropping their price to sell anyway. Either way, they end up losing out.”
That is where the Gold Key Plan™ comes in and successfully works for customers– stressing the importance of pricing a home correctly the first time around and speeding up the selling process.
Since the program debuted last year, a total of 20 people have successfully sold their homes through the Gold Key Plan™. On average, J.S. Hovnanian & Sons have found that with the program, sellers have been receiving 98% of the original list price as compared to the market average of 90%, shortening the cycle about two whole months.
“Utilizing our Gold Key Plan™, buyers sell their current homes in an average of 30-45 days,” said Hovnanian. “Given the average sell cycle in today’s market is approximately 108 days, this turnaround is especially impressive.”
The staging consultation also has been an extremely helpful component of the Gold Key Plan™, providing owners with a complete review of their home with specific tips and strategies to enhance living space, improve lighting, make improvements, eliminate clutter and reorganize.
Kathy Keller, now a resident of J.S. Hovnanian & Sons’ Siena community, ended up selling her home for $15,000 more than the original appraisal and list price of $190,000 after decorators – armed with the best and newest tips on how to prepare a home in order to increase its value and salability – came in to evaluate her home
“We were glad to have someone look at the house and make sure it was set up well,” said Keller. “We were extremely happy with the results.”
Additionally, the Gold Key Plan™ gives buyers the opportunity not only to qualify for an exclusive promotional value-added guarantee through closing, but also a special “appraisal difference match” guarantee. With this guarantee, if the house is listed at an appraised value and sells below it, J.S. Hovnanian & Sons will credit the difference in free options on the buyer’s new home – which can be worth up to $20,000, depending on the community.
“As the most aggressive plan in the marketplace, our Gold Key Plan™ ultimately allows our customers to sell and buy with confidence,” said Hovnanian. “It addresses the needs and concerns of all homeowners interested in selling and buying a new home in today’s ever-changing market. In that regard, you really can’t beat it.”
